    BOTANICAL BIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT For The SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA NATIONAL FORESTS LAND MANAGEMENT PLAN AMENDMENT ~FINAL SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT~ Prepared by: /s/ David A. Austin______________Date_09/05/2013________ David A. Austin, Forest Biologist, San Bernardino National Forest Input Provided by: Deveree Kopp, Robin Eliason, Scott Eliason - San Bernardino National Forest Kirsten Winter - Cleveland National Forest Janet Nickerman - Angeles National Forest Lloyd Simpson, Kevin Cooper - Los Padres National Forest SUMMARY This biological assessment addresses the potential effects of threatened and endangered plant species that are known to occur in the Inventory Roadless Areas affected by the proposed action. The Forest Service proposes to amend the 2006 Land Management Plans (LMPs) in a limited in scope to address the terms of a settlement agreement between the Forest Service, State of California, and other settlement parties. The proposed action is to modify the existing land use zones in 37 Inventoried Roadless Areas (IRAs) to include more Back Country Non-Motorized (BCNM) and Recommended Wilderness (RW) areas on the Angeles, Cleveland, Los Padres, and San Bernardino National Forests. The analysis addresses three alternatives (Alternatives 2, 2a and 3) to amend LMP land use zone allocations for the 37 IRAs in addition to taking no action (Alternative 1). Additionally, the analysis addresses two alternatives (Alternatives B and C) to amend LMP monitoring and evaluation protocols, in addition to making no changes (Alternative A). The biological reports in the Project Record for the Final EIS for the LMP (USDA Forest Service 2006) provide the basis for this evaluation and they are incorporated here by reference. The analyses in those 2006 biological reports relative to the effects expected to botanical resources from the selected alternative are the same as Alternative 1 (No Action) for this proposal.

Photocredit: Scott Eliason (San Bernardino National Forest) and Stacey Love (USFWS). U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Carlsbad Fish and Wildlife Office Carlsbad, California August 23, 2013 2013 5-year Review for Taraxacum californicum 5-YEAR REVIEW Taraxacum californicum (California Taraxacum) I. GENERAL INFORMATION Purpose of 5-year Reviews: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is required by section 4(c)(2) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act), to conduct a status review of each listed species at least once every 5 years. The purpose of a 5-year review is to evaluate whether or not the species’ status has changed since it was listed (or since the most recent 5-year review). Based on the 5- year review, we recommend whether the species should be removed from the list of endangered and threatened species, be changed in status from endangered to threatened, or be changed in status from threatened to endangered. Our original listing of a species as endangered or threatened is based on the existence of threats attributable to one or more of the five threat factors described in section 4(a)(1) of the Act, and we must consider these same five factors in any subsequent consideration of reclassification or delisting of a species. In the 5-year review, we consider the best available scientific and commercial data on the species, and focus on new information available since the species was listed or last reviewed. If we recommend a change in listing status based on the results of the 5-year review, we must propose to do so through a separate rule-making process defined in the Act that includes public review and comment.
